Torture one person twice as bad. Maybe you can’t, but maybe you can. How unlikely is it really that you can torture one person by −3^^^^3 utilons in one year? Is it really 1/3^^^^3?
Instead of torturing them for longer, torture them more intensely. It’s likely that there’s an upper bound on how intensely you can torture someone, but how sure can you be?
